PIANOS BECOME THE TEETH (USA – Epitaph Records)Pianos Become The Teeth are many things but they aren’t the type of band that are simple to describe. Correspondingly if the Baltimore, Maryland, based act exploded on the scene with their 2009 debut Old Pride and gained national attention with 2011’s The Lack Long After, their third album Keep You sees them taking a brave step forward to craft a musical statement that truly transcends genres. “There’s still the same amount of passion and energy inherent in this record, it’s just presented in a different way,” frontman Kyle Durfey explains—and that undying desire to push, challenge and redefine the band’s musical limits is what makes Keep You the type of record that grows more revealing to the listener with each listen.https://www.facebook.com/pianosbecometheteethhttp://www.pianosbecometheteeth.com/

SILVER SNAKES (USA – Bridge 9 Records)
Year of the Snake is Silver Snakes’ first full-length in nearly three years, following 2011’s Pictures of a Floating World (as well as 2012’s Old Light single and last year’s split EP with Souvenirs and Sundance teaser). Their sophomore effort builds on the promise of those releases, delivering a heavy, uncompromising, metallic post-hardcore/alternative hybrid experimentally touching upon both ends of the rock spectrum, from sludgy forays to acoustic detours and a snarling melodic sensibility spread throughout.http://www.facebook.com/yearofthesnakeshttp://www.yearofthesnakes.com/
